I've never heard of a 'passive' cap change that can increase actual volume.
There is a passive mid boost thing for LP ... http://www.seymourduncan.com/forum/showthr...ident!-haha http://www.guitar-mod.com/rg_mods_faq.html http://www.tdpri.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-298859.html You can also put 1k (1000 ohm) volume pots in there which will let more highs through. Also you can do something that will take the tone pots completely out of the circuit which will also allow more highs thru ... which gives the impression of more output. *The only way to really get more volume (DBs) is to have active p'ups or add an active boost into the axe. -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

Thanks for the answer! To clarify, I am not seeking more volume...I just realized what a fuzzy term "output" is...  The pickup I have has the volume, and the tone....It was just not giving me the pinch harmonics and crunch I was expecting...I switched the cap to a .022uF 600V Orange Drop and the problem is solved...Squealies for everyone!!!
